One is the ONC standard that we/SUN/PC-NFS uses, and the other is the SMB (Server Message Block) standard. If you are using 10-Net (like we are) then you are going to run into pronblems. 10Net (and others) use the SMB protocol. I am working on a server that will accept SMB requests and interface to the ONC client software as it exists currently. Along with everything else, of course. In other words, I should finish it sometime before the turn of the century. -- ------ TSgt Dave Burgess NCOIC AL/Management Information Systems Office Brooks AFB, TX
